11/20/08 Recap and Highlights

Pistons 80, Celtics 98

When every player on your team scores and gets a rebound, you’ve got a blowout on your hands. It was exactly that, as a highly anticipated matchup between two of the best teams in the East turned into garbage time in the middle of the third quarter. I could give you individual stats, but they’d be skewed and probably a bit pointless. But, as mentioned before, every Celtic scored and rebounded. No Celtic played more than 28 minutes or less than six. Every Piston got into the game and played at least three minutes. In their defense, Detroit did play against Cleveland last night, the other elite Eastern team. Maybe they left their game on the plane.

Lakers 105, Suns 92
In their first meeting since this, Kobe was able to at least claim "scoreboard" over Shaq. This game never really felt as close as the score, as the Lakers showed off their depth and versatility and the Suns never seemed to catch up. Kobe had 24 points for the Lakers, but shot poorly. Gasol only managed four points but tallied nine assists and nine rebounds. Amare Stoudemire posted 21 and eight for the Suns and the aforementioned Shaq had 15 and nine. Steve Nash contributed 10 assists.
